Hi

I have found a old Photoshop ( Photoshop CS) in a box unopened and i tried activating it but it gives me an error that says the activation system is not available

Did they cut support or activation for this product as i would really want to use this because i can not afford the new Photoshop.

Creative Suite which released in 2003 is not going to install on newer machines.  It's simply too old.  Adobe stopped supporting  it long ago.cut off the activation servers long ago. 

If you can't afford $10/month for Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan | Professional photo editing software,

get  Easy Photo Editing Software | Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019.   PS Elements is aimed at hobbyists and amateurs who don't need professional software.
